The Ferrante Sangiovese Toscana is a bright, food-friendly Tuscan red poured by the bottle at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Built around Sangiovese, the signature grape of Tuscany, it is the kind of classic, easygoing Italian red that was made to sit beside a plate of pasta. We pour it because it captures the everyday joy of Tuscan dining.
About the Producer
This Sangiovese comes from Tuscany, the central Italian region most closely associated with the grape. Sangiovese is the backbone of Tuscany’s most famous wines, and in a straightforward Toscana bottling like this it shows its fresh, approachable side, made to be enjoyed young and often.
Region & Grape
This is the 2019 vintage from Tuscany, in central Italy, made from Sangiovese. Sangiovese is prized for its lifted acidity, red-fruit character and savory edge, which is exactly what makes it such a natural partner for tomato-based Italian cooking.
Tasting Notes
Expect a fruity, lightly floral nose of red cherry and berry with a hint of violets. The palate is fresh and lively, carried by elevated acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins. The finish is clean and savory. This is a wine of brightness and balance rather than heft.
